But this time there were many nice tables and half booths to sit at with a view of something other than the kitchen and the place they clean off the dirty dishes and throw out the garbage. I mentioned it to the hostess, and she acted as if I insulted her. Sure they offered to move us, but the point is....we shouldn't have been put there in the first place. My son is in a wheelchair, so I guess they thought we wouldn't care.....but it really ruined my meal.

Our server was ok, but certainly not friendly. Very unwelcoming.

It's too bad. We live in Sanibel, so Bonifay Country Club is the closest place for us to go have a meal. I guess we'll give them one more try.
Did you sit down and then go ask the hostess to re-seat you? I frequently am shown to a table and before we sit down, tell the hostess that I would rather sit elsewhere and am always gladly accomodated.

Bonifay CC is a very pretty restaurant and bar; the servers and bartenders are very friendly to me; and the food is also pretty good.

Basically, being reseated because you did not like the first table is not a good reason to be so angry that it ruined your meal. Just smile and ask to sit in a booth or just say you would not care to sit next to the kitchen.
